Sniper Elite 5 has 3 basic skill trees: Combat, Equipment and Body. Each of these has one central skill, followed by 2 rings of skills. In order to get to the first ring, you need to acquire the central skill. To get to the skills on the outer ring, you need to unlock the corresponding skill in the first ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall there are a number of useful skills in SE5, so let\u2019s get started with the guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in the Fight<\/strong> – this skill is fantastic, and it\u2019s the central skill for the combat tree. It allows you to revive if you\u2019ve been downed by using a medpack; While you may not be taken out often, it can happen, and this saves you the hassle of reloading another save sometimes, and is also very useful when being invaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maintain Focus<\/strong> – Another central skill, Maintain Focus allows you to make greater use of your focus skill by retaining the focus vision for longer after leaving it, assuming you were using focus for long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Focus Range<\/strong> – This one is a real life-saver: Focus range significantly increases the range of your focus vision, meaning you spot enemies using it from further away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rifle Special Ammo<\/strong> – Soft target, AP and subsonic rounds are three of the most useful ammo types for snipers in SE5. Being able to carry two from the start instead of one is always a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
